Abstract: The electromechanical surface damping technique (EMSD) is applied to suppress the bending and twisting (torsional) peak vibration amplitudes of a cantilever plate. The technique is a combination ...

Abstract: Coupled thermoviscoplasticity equations are developed based on the rational theory of thermodynamics. A power-form internal state variable constitutive equation is proposed. Limitation of the proposed ...

Abstract: The performance characteristics of vehicle suspension with optimum damped absorber are evaluated and compared with those of the pertinent optimized conventional and optimal active suspension system. ...

Abstract: The strain rate-history effect on the plastic behavior of some classes of viscoplastic materials is incorporated into the power formula of Bodner’s model by adopting an integral-memory type ...
